Mid century village home which has been restored with impeccable good taste and charm .
This double fronted home sits in a charming little corner of the white village of El Colmenar – the village is one of the main gateway’s to the Alcornocales National Park . The river Guardiaro runs along the bottom of the village and provides a wonderful natural environment for hiking and wild swimming in the natural pools at the edge of the village.
The interior of the property offers a wealth of authentic features , including a stone Well , original ceramic tiling , wood beamed ceilings and even the old stone wash basin in the patio has been retained , adding a real charm to the already lovely internal patio.
The Internal patio is really the heart of this characterful property , a large enclosed walled area, which connects the two parts of the house together. Partly covered , but mostly open to the sky , letting in sunshine throughout the year . There is a wood door that opens directly onto the street – which is very useful for deliveries . In the patio there is a built in wood store , and the original stone wash basin . Ample space for sunbeds and garden furniture . Space for a hot tub even !

Entry from the street into a large open plan room, which incorporates a very charming farmhouse/cottage style kitchen with wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances – electric oven, 4 ring gas hob, large fridge/freezer and washing machine . Divided from the living room by an open semi island. The living room is a spacious yet cosy room with a wood burner. Of real note are the original ceramic tiles from the 1940’s which are a rare find these days. Double full length glass doors lead out onto the patio .

The current owner’s undertook the conversion of what were originally outbuildings into a guest suite. A really special feature is found in the entrance hall – the original stone Water Well – which does still have a good supply of water . This is not used, but certainly could be if needed !

Off the bedroom is a small galley service kitchen , equipped simply with a small fridge, sink and work surface , this leads out onto a really pretty terrace, with panoramic views to the park .
